The annual Church fete is on Saturday 8th June 2024 in the grounds of Barham Church starting at 2.00pm. This event is very much part of our village life having taken place every year for over 70 years come rain or shine (but not a COVID lockdown!). It is a great opportunity to get out and meet up with old friends and to meet new ones. Whilst it is a fundraising event, success is measured more my the fact that people enjoy it rather than the amount of money made so an effort is always made to ensure that it is fun and affordable for all ages. We will have all the traditional side shows to try your skill/luck at as well as bargains in next-to-new, white elephant. books and produce. If you want to buy a home-made cake make sure you are not late as this is always one of the most popular stalls. There will be a bouncy castle there for the youngsters.

Offers of help or stock for stalls, bottles for the bottle tombola or prizes for the main raffle would be much appreciated. Please contact .

We look forward to seeing you there. If it is wet, please still turn out as there will be plenty of tents to shelter in.

Footnote - we have a long standing policy for this event that we do not have any commercial stalls as space is limited and also so that those attending know that all proceeds go to towards the maintenance and improvement of the Parish Church.

An all ticket event for catering purposes. Two course BBQ meal on the patio and grass behind Church with a free Bouncy Castle for the Children. This is not a fundraising event but a social event open to the whole Church and their families and friends hence the ticket price is only set to cover the costs.
